Researching John Caesar Clucas

I am starting to research my grandfather, John Caesar Clucas. I know he was born in the IOM and emmigrated to the US around 1908. His parents were Phillip and Anne and he has one brother Tom (Thomas?) and three sisters: Katie (Katherine?; married name Kelly), Agnes, and Edith. His brother, Tom (Thomas), has one son, Tom, Jr., and two daughters: Dorothy and Florence. Dorothy was known to live at 4 Palatine Rd. in Douglas. John Caeser died in the late 1950's in Rochelle, IL. The rest of my information is limited to an inscription in a Bible given to him by his church. The inscription reads:

" Presented to John Caesar Clucas, as a token of respect, by the
superintendent of Ballaugh New Wesleyan Sunday School (Ramsey Circuit) on
the occasion of his departure from the Isle of Man to America.

James T. Corlett (Suprv)
Ballaugh,
I. O. Man 20th Jan. 1908"

Any information about my grandfather and anything about Clucases or Corlett's
still in the Ballaugh area would be most appreciated.
